Raelyn Conway serves in Kenya with the CMF team that works alongside Missions of Hope International (MOHI). Since 2018, she has helped to develop programs that holistically address the health needs of more than 30,000 students, their parents, and their communities. Here she talks about how developing a school nurse program is helping transform lives physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Providing medical care has always been an essential part of our mission to share Christ’s love with those we serve.
This summer marked a historic moment for CMF as we held a first-ever gathering in our 75-year history, bringing together around 175 missionaries and staff for an unforgettable week.
In what has become an annual tradition, a medical team spent part of their summer serving the Maasai area of Kenya where CMF has had a long ministry resulting in a renowned clinic system and hundreds of churches planted.
The Seminary of the Nations was established to take seminary level education to teachers and preachers around the globe. “Teaching the teachers” was the mission and over the 15+ years of its existence, it equipped local church leaders in over 40 countries.
For thousands of moms and babies, the Maasai area of Kenya has just become a much safer, healthier place, thanks to the work of Community Health Partners.
Tim Ross is many things: a pastor, professor, missionary, husband, dad, and citizen of the Cherokee Nation. In the 1980’s and 90’s, Tim and his family served as CMF missionaries among the Maasai of Kenya and upon returning to the US, he served as pastor of the Hopwood Christian Church at Milligan University for the next 27 years. Tim is an instructor at Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan and a consultant with NAIITS, a seminary created by Christians of the First Nations.
Dr. Suzie Snyder spent 16 years as a missionary with CMF providing medical care and sharing the love of Christ with the Maasai people of Kenya. Suzie, her husband, and a group of healthcare professionals recently traveled to Kenya and served the Maasai in a number of ways. For several months, only she and her husband had signed up for the trip they were trying to organize, but she put it in God’s hands, calling it “God’s Trip.” Soon they would have a wonderful team from across the U.S. raising funds and preparing to go. Here are Suzie’s reflections on the trip and returning to where she served for so many years:
Exciting changes are taking place in the CMF office in Indianapolis! Several of our long-time staff members are taking on new roles to better serve our missionaries now and into the future.
Sam and Becca Loibor-Mongi are currently preparing to serve in Kenya with our Church Catalyst team. Sam will work within ongoing Disciple Making Movement (DMM) initiatives there, as well as help with leadership development within Community Christian Church (CCC) churches.
